Grant also gave thanks to “caring nurses” at Alex Hospital and YG Bangor hospital.
The grateful Strictly Come Dancing star broke the news in a tweet.
The post read: “Before Christmas I had a brain tumour removed by the A-Team Prof Pathmanban, Dr Bhalla, Dr Kearney, the caring nurses & Vicky Walsh of Alex Hospital Manchester & Dr Wilton YG Bangor.
“I’m now into recovery on @BrainTumourOrg Day.Thank you all.”
The TV personality underwent a five-hour procedure just before Christmas to remove a tumour from his pituitary gland.
It was after doctors said it threatened to “blank out” his optic nerve.
The pituitary gland is a small structure, about the size of a pea, attached to the base of the brain behind the nose.
It lies in a small hollow in the skull, just below the eye, where it is protected by a part of the skull called the sphenoid bone.
